Question

Why is this not working ?

StreamReader m = new StreamReader("../folder1/email.html", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

code file and html file are in diff folders so I that its some path issue but its not because I just now copied this html file in the same folder where this code file is and changed code to:

StreamReader m = new StreamReader("email.html", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

still not working.. What’s wrong? Is the syntax wrong or what?

Answer 1

If you use a relative path it will be relative to the bin/Debug or bin/Release folder, not the project folder where your code file is, so try:

m= new StreamReader("../../email.html", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
